Advisory business
Symmetry Joint Venture L.P., Overseas Trust and Pension Limited and Violin Debtco Guernsey Limited,
amongst others, entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement dated 9 February 2026 pursuant to which
National Westminster Bank PLC acquired all of the equity interests in Symmetry Topco Guernsey Limited
("STGL"), the parent company of Evelyn Partners Asset Management Limited ("EPAM"). The acquisition took
effect on June 30, 2026.
Evelyn Partners provides discretionary investment management services across a broad range of client
account types, including (where eligible) investment portfolios, retirement accounts, personal pensions, trust
and charity accounts and insurance company accounts. The Discretionary Portfolio Service (DPS) allows for
the purchase and sale of specific securities and can, in some circumstances, allow for you to impose certain
restrictions; meaning we will not purchase any securities which, for any reason, you may not be comfortable
holding. The Firm also offers financial planning services to clients.
In addition, the Firm provides discretionary management services in respect of a private fund, Evelyn Partners
Global IDF L.P (“IDF”).
As of 31 December 2025, the Firm managed approximately $1,059,392,636 in regulatory assets under
management, with all managed on a discretionary basis and does not have any regulatory assets under
management attributed to non-discretionary investment advisory services.
In this document, “Client” means all clients of the Firm and consists of any entity or natural person to which
the Firm provides investment advisory or management services, including each private fund and all
managed account clients.
5.
Fees and compensation
Our charges are levied based on the value of the assets that our clients entrust us to manage. We charge our
clients on a tiered basis which means that our percentage investment management fee will decrease as your
assets increase.
There are three principal sources of cost to clients resulting from investment management:
1. Our fee for managing the portfolio
2. The underlying investment management fees of any funds that we choose to hold
3. Custodian charges from Pershing Advisor Solutions LLC (“Pershing”).
The above 1-3 are further outlined below.
a. Evelyn Partners Management Fee
The annual fee for our investment management services would be a tiered fee as below:
Charging Structure
Portfolio Size

Fee (% of assets) (Per
Annum)
First
$325,000
1.05%

0.90%
Next
$2,600,000
0.70%
Page 4
Above
$3,250,000
0.40%
A minimum Investment Management fee of $1,125 plus VAT (where applicable) per quarter will apply.
Fees will be calculated for an initial period and then debited at calendar quarter ends in arrears.
Fees are calculated each calendar quarter, based upon quarter end values. Where this calculation results in
a fee amount below the minimum, the minimum will be charged instead.
The fee is debited from cash held within the portfolio and paid to Evelyn Partners.
Market movements along with contributions and withdrawals will affect the value of your assets, therefore,
fees charged will move up and down. We do not charge any fees for transactions, however there are
transaction fees levied by our custodian Pershing (see “Custodian Charges” below).
EPAM also uses other custodians. Further details, including fees, are available on request.
Regarding Global IDF, the fee is 1.25% of [assets under management], deducted after expenses, accrued
monthly and paid quarterly in arrears.
b. Underlying Fund Costs
When investing in Collective Investment Schemes (Funds), there are ongoing costs associated with running
such Funds. These include the relevant fund manager's annual management charge and other operating
expenses. These charges are known as the Ongoing Charges Figure or OCF. A Fund’s transaction costs are
not included in the OCF and are charged to the Fund.
The OCF will vary between funds but will normally be around 0.35% for equity funds and 0.35% for tracker
funds.
Custodian Charges
The main costs from Pershing are shown below:
•
$10 flat ticket charge up to 3,000 shares. Each additional share over 3,000
US Stocks
will be charged
at $0.01 per share.
•
US Mutual Funds
$25 per transaction
•
25 basis points subject to a $25 minimum charge plus a foreign settlement
Non-US Stocks
fee*
•
Cash transfers
$20 for transferring money out of your account
•
Legal stock transfers
$40 per transfer
•
Account termination
$100 per account
*Please note that for non-US stocks, we will aim to buy cost-effective, US-listed versions of these companies
where possible, such as American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”). These are securities that trade in U.S. financial
markets that represent the securities of non-U.S. companies. The costs would therefore be associated with
US stocks as opposed to the higher costs incurred by buying the non-U.S. stocks directly in foreign markets.
c. Fund Expenses
For the Global IDF, each portfolio shall bear its own operating costs and expenses, including, but not limited
to, administrative, legal and audit fees directly related to the operations of the portfolio, expenses related to
the investment of an asset, such as brokerage commissions, custodial charges, and clearing fees, fees paid to
other service providers, and all other expenses associated with the operation of the relevant portfolio.
Page 5
Operating expenses, as with other expenses, shall be allocated to and charged against the capital accounts
of limited partners investing in such portfolio in proportion to their capital account balances in the portfolio.
6.
Performance-based fees and side-by-side management
Evelyn Partners does not charge performance-based fees.
7.
Types of clients
Evelyn Partners can generally provide investment management services to individuals and families,
companies, charities, trusts, private funds and financial intermediaries on a discretionary basis. The initial
commitment for IDF is $100,000, and for other clients our minimum account size is £350,000 or USD
equivalent.
8.
Methods of analysis, investment strategies and risk of loss
Our investment process is based on the principle that asset allocation will be the primary determinant of long-
term investment performance.
Each portfolio is run within a specific risk profile to which an asset allocation will be assigned with the goal of
maintaining the appropriate long-term risk reward parameters that have been agreed with the client. The
appropriate asset allocation at any given time will be determined by the quantitative and qualitative output of
our investment process, considering such factors as:
•
Medium and Long-term economic trends.
•
Correlation across the asset classes.
•
Potential of return relative to cash, risk and inflation.
•
Longer-term investment horizons, avoiding undue focus on or reaction to short-term market
fluctuations.
We expect equities to be the main driver of returns within portfolios, preferring a small, focused portfolio.
Other areas of focus are:
•
Consistent return on investment capital.
•
Relatively stable top line and high gross margins.
•
Predictable and robust cash flows.
•
Strong balance sheets.
•
Good management of brands.
•
Generation of free cash flow.
•
Consistent dividend record.
We also consider the effects of frictional costs within portfolios such as dealing costs, management fees and
taxation.
The material risks of investing in our portfolios include:
• Market Risk – Arises mainly from uncertainty about future prices of securities. It represents the potential loss
the portfolio might suffer through holding market positions in the face of price movements. Evelyn Partners’
practitioners will manage market price risk on a daily basis in accordance with the investment objectives and
mandate guidelines.
Page 6
• Inflation Risk – The value of your investment will be affected by inflation. Unless the performance of an
investment meets or exceeds the rate of inflation, the real value of that investment will be reduced.
• Interest Rate Risk – Interest rate risk represents the potential losses that the strategy may suffer due to
adverse movements in relevant interest rates. The amount of income receivable from bank balances will be
affected by fluctuations in interest rates.
• Credit Risk – Credit risk is the risk that counterparties, or investment issuers will be unable or unwilling to
meet a commitment that they have entered into and potentially result in financial loss. The strategy will be
exposed to settlement risk on parties with whom it trades and custody risk. In managing this risk, Evelyn
Partners seeks to work with and / or invest in institutions that are well known, financially sound and, where
appropriate, well rated by rating agencies.
• Settlement Risk – Default by a broker could expose the strategy to an adverse price movement in the
security between execution and settlement. When carrying out transactions in listed securities these are
settled on cash versus delivery basis.
• Currency Risk – Currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes
in foreign exchange rates. Currency risk is addressed by the Investment Manager buying predominantly global
businesses with a well-diversified currency profile. The currency exposure of cash holdings is actively
managed on a regular basis. Note: All investments involve the risk of loss, including (among other things) loss
of principal, a reduction in earnings (including interest, dividends and other distributions), and the loss of future
earnings. Although we manage the assets in a manner consistent with risk tolerances, there can be no
guarantee that our efforts will be successful. You should be prepared to bear the risk of loss.
There are also wider risks that may impact portfolios including:
• Cybersecurity - Cybersecurity is a generic term used to describe the technology, processes and practices
designed to protect networks, systems, computers, programs and data from both intentional cyber-
attacks and unintentional damage or interruption in service. A cybersecurity breach could expose the Firm,
its clients, and their investments to substantial costs, civil liability, regulatory inquiry and/or action,
compromised data, asset misappropriation, reputational harm, and operational disruptions. The adoption
of internet- or cloud-based technologies and remote work environments may amplify these risks. In
addition, as the Firm does not directly control the cybersecurity systems of third-party service providers,
there can be no assurance that the cybersecurity practices of these providers will protect the Firm or its
clients.
• Public Health Emergencies and Pandemics - Pandemics and public health emergencies have the potential
to materially impact economic activity in ways that are impossible to predict, all of which may result in
significant losses to the Firm’s clients. In addition, governmental mitigation actions may constrain or alter
existing financial, legal and regulatory frameworks in ways that are averse to the investment strategy of
the Firm and client investment objectives. In addition, the operations of the Firm itself may be significantly
impacted, or even temporarily halted, as a result of government quarantine measures, restrictions on travel
and movement, remote-working requirements and other factors related to a public health emergency.
Similar disruptions may occur in respect of the Firm’s service providers and counterparties, which could
also negatively impact the clients.
• Volatility Caused by World Events - World events such as terrorism, natural disasters, political and social
turmoil, military conflicts (including the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East), as well as disruptions to global
energy markets and international trade have resulted in substantial volatility in financial markets, impacting
the wider global economy as well as directly impacted countries. Similar events and resulting fluctuations
could have a substantial impact on the performance of investments in client accounts.
• AI and Automated Technologies – The Firm may use machine learning, predictive data analytics, and
similar automated decision-making technologies,
including proprietary algorithms and models
(collectively, “AI Technologies”), in connection with investment activities such as due diligence, predictive
analysis, data interpretation, and operational functions. The use of AI Technologies involves significant
risks, including potential inaccuracies, biases, cybersecurity threats, confidentiality concerns, and evolving
Page 7
legal and regulatory requirements, any of which could adversely affect the Firm or its clients. Additionally,
AI Technologies may materially and adversely affect client investments by, among other things,
contributing to the obsolescence of certain products, services, or business models in which a client is
invested. AI Technologies and their applications continue to develop rapidly, and it is impossible to predict
the full extent of current or future risks. There can be no assurance that the benefits of AI Technologies
will justify the costs and expenses associated with their use.
• Possibility of Fraud and Other Misconduct – Misconduct by employees, vendors, or service providers of the
Firm or its clients could cause significant losses, including unauthorized transactions, failure to comply
with operational or risk procedures, misrepresentations, misappropriation of assets, or improper use of
confidential information. While the Firm maintains controls designed to minimize such risks, there can be
no assurance that it will identify or prevent all misconduct, and the Firm may have limited remedies against
responsible parties.
• Dependence on Key Personnel – Investment performance depends in large part on the services,
relationships, and expertise of the Firm’s key personnel, including its partners, directors, investment
professionals, and other senior management (collectively, “Key Persons”). If any Key Person were to
become incapacitated or otherwise cease to be associated with the Firm, clients could experience material
adverse effects, including disruption to investment activities and loss of institutional knowledge and
relationships. There can be no assurance that Key Persons will continue to be associated with the Firm, or
that the Firm would be able to attract and retain replacement personnel in a timely manner or at all.
• Public Relations Risks – Negative media coverage, adverse publicity, or changes in public perception of
the Firm, its personnel, or its investment strategies could negatively affect the Firm’s reputation and its
ability to source investment opportunities, maintain relationships with counterparties and service
providers, and retain or attract investors. Prediction markets and social media platforms may amplify
reputational risks or expose the Firm to regulatory scrutiny, particularly if trading or speculation is
perceived to be based on confidential or material, nonpublic information.
9.
Disciplinary information
The Firm has not been subject to any disciplinary action, whether criminal, civil or administrative (including
regulatory) in any jurisdiction. Likewise, no person involved in the management of the Firm have been subject
to such action.
10. Other financial industry activities and affiliations

pending applications to register as a broker-dealer or as a registered representative of a broker-dealer.

that provide financial services in various jurisdictions. These affiliated entities are subject to their own
regulatory authorisations and supervision. However, EPAM is the only affiliated entity that is registered with

we act in our clients' best interests. Nevertheless, circumstances may arise where our interests, or those of
our affiliates or other clients, conflict with the interests of a client. We maintain policies and procedures
Page 8
designed to identify, manage and, where appropriate, disclose conflicts of interest to ensure that we continue
to act in our clients' best interests.
The table below sets out the principal affiliated regulated entities relevant to EPAM, together with their
regulatory status and principal business activities. The information in the table is accurate at the time of filing
this Brochure. As part of the recent NatWest acquisition, it is anticipated that further financial affiliates may be
identified and the Firm will update the Brochure accordingly where the information in this section becomes
materially inaccurate. The Firm will look to ensure that proportionate policies and procedures are
implemented to manage conflicts of interest that may arise with new financial affiliates.

11. Code of ethics, participation or interest in client transactions and
personal trading
The following is a summary of Evelyn Partners’ Code of Ethics and Personal Securities Transactions Policy (the
“Code” or “Code of Ethics”) which has been adopted in accordance with Section 204A-1 of the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”) and to help ensure both the Firm and its employees comply with their
fiduciary obligations to their client. A full copy of the Code is available to any client or prospective client upon
request and without charge by contacting the Firm.
The Firm’s Code of Ethics applies to access persons of the Firm and any other person the Chief Compliance
Officer (“CCO”) deems appropriate (“Access Persons”).
•
The foundation of the Code of Ethics is based on the underlying principles that:
Employees must comply with relevant securities regulations.
•
Employees must at all times place the interests of the Firm’s clients first.
•
Employees must make sure that all personal securities transactions are conducted consistently with
the Code and Personal Account Dealing Policy.
•
Employees must report any violation of the Code of Ethics.
•
Employees should not take advantage of their position at Evelyn Partners.
Evelyn Partners’ Access Persons are required to adhere to the Code of Ethics and certify their adherence to
the Code upon commencing their employment and on an annual basis thereafter.
Furthermore, all Access Persons are required to deliver to the CCO, or the delegated compliance function, a
detailed report of personal transactions (covering substantially all securities other than exempted securities)
undertaken during each calendar quarter. Information in respect of any new brokerage accounts opened
during the relevant period is also required to be disclosed.
Page 10
Personal trading:
From time to time, employees (and certain related persons) may have an interest in securities which are owned
by clients of Evelyn Partners. In such circumstances, the Firm has policies in place to ensure that the interests
of the Firm’s employees do not conflict with the obligations the Firm owes to its clients.
All Access Persons must obtain pre-clearance from the CCO or a delegated compliance function for all
personal trades in reportable securities and obtain pre-approval from the CCO, or the delegated compliance
function, before engaging in any outside business activities or applying for an allocation of an Initial Public
Offering (“IPO”) or private placement.
Conflicts of interest:
It is the policy of the Firm that all employees and others working on their behalf act in good faith and in the
best interests of the Firm and its clients. The Firm has Policies and Procedures in place to identify and manage
conflicts of interest.
12.
Brokerage practices
The Firm has full discretionary authority over the accounts of Clients (“Client Accounts”), including authority to
make decisions with respect to which securities are bought and sold, the amount and price of those securities,
the brokers or dealers to be used for a particular transaction, and the commissions paid. The Firm’s authority
is limited by its own internal policies and procedures and investment guidelines.
In selecting an appropriate broker-dealer to affect a client trade, Evelyn Partners seeks to obtain “best
execution,” meaning that the Firm will execute a securities transaction for a client in such a manner that a
client’s total costs or proceeds in the transaction are most favorable under the circumstances. Accordingly, in
seeking best execution, Evelyn Partners takes into consideration the price of a security offered by the broker-
dealer, as well as a broker-dealers’ full range and quality of their services including, among other things, their
facilities, reliability and financial responsibility, execution capability, commission rates, responsiveness to
Evelyn Partners instructions and requests, brokerage and research services provided to Evelyn Partners (e.g.,
research ideas, analysis, and investment strategies), special execution and block positioning capabilities,
clearance, and settlement and custodial services.
Aggregation of Orders - We may aggregate trade orders for the Client Accounts to achieve more efficient
execution or to provide for equitable treatment among accounts. Client Accounts participating in aggregated
trades will be allocated securities based on the average price achieved for such trades. Client Accounts will
have an account with the relevant custodian.
Soft Dollars - Evelyn Partners does not and has no intention to use “soft dollars” generated by our clients’
trading activities to purchase research services or products that would otherwise have been an expense of
the Firm.
Trade Errors - The Firm’s traders may on occasion experience errors with respect to trades made on behalf of
the Client. Trade errors can result from a variety of situations, including for example, when the wrong security
is purchased or sold, when the correct security is purchased or sold but for the wrong account, when the
wrong amount is purchased or sold (e.g., 1,000 shares instead of 10,000 shares are traded), or when a
misallocation among the Accounts occurs. The Firm endeavors to detect trade errors prior to settlement and
correct them in an expeditious manner.
13.
Review of accounts
Each portfolio and Client Account that Evelyn Partners manages is subject to a review. These reviews are
designed to ensure that all accounts remain within the Firm’s investment guidelines agreed with each client
comparing the Clients Accounts performance to their stated goals. In addition, all clients will receive a periodic
review where their situation and goals are discussed along with the performance of the portfolio.
Page 11
The client will receive statements regarding their account, its holdings, transactions and fees at least quarterly
from the Firm and / or Pershing Securities Limited or Pershing Advisor Solutions LLC.
14.
Client referrals and other compensation
Evelyn Partners is not remunerated by any party other than its clients. EPAM reserves the right to enter into
written solicitation arrangements in accordance with applicable law in the future with third parties. The Firm
does not currently utilize third party marketing firms for its U.S. clients.
As part of the recent acquisition client referral arrangements may be entered into. The Firm will ensure that
policies and processes are in place to mitigate any conflicts of interest, and disclosures made to clients as
necessary.
15.
Custody
Advisers with custody of client funds and securities must maintain them with “Qualified Custodians.” “Qualified
Custodians” under the amended rule include banks and savings associations and registered broker-dealers.
Evelyn Partners does not maintain direct custody or possession of any of its clients’ funds or securities. Clients’
funds and securities are held with qualified custodians. However, as client fees due to EPAM are deducted
directly from our clients’ accounts, EPAM is deemed to have sufficient custody and control of client assets
pursuant to Rule 206(4)-2 of the Advisers Act.
Evelyn Partners or the relevant custodian will at least quarterly send a client statement to the client. The Firm
will also annually send the Privacy Notice and ADV Part 2.
The principal place of business of EPAM is not in the United State and is thus not subject to Rule 206(4)-2
under the Advisers Act (the “Custody Rule”) with respect to client accounts and funds that are not US persons
(as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933), as per ABA Subcommittee on Private Investment
Entities, SEC Staff No-Action Letter (Aug. 10, 2006). Nevertheless, all client assets are physically held by third-
party “qualified custodians” and the funds are subject to audit at least annually.
16.
Investment discretion
As set forth in the terms in the governing documents for each Client Account, EPAM has full discretionary
authority to manage the discretionary Client Accounts, including authority to make decisions with respect to
which securities are bought and sold, the amount and price of those securities, the brokers or dealers to be
used for a particular transaction, and the commissions paid.
17.
Voting client securities
Evelyn Partners will be notified of any action (which requires voting by the security holder) by the relevant
Custodian.
If Evelyn Partners exercise any vote on your behalf, we will always seek to vote in a manner that we determine
to be in your best interests. We maintain written records of the proxy vote on each occasion a proxy is voted.
Information on Evelyn Partners’ Proxy Voting Policy, including details of how the Firm has voted on a particular
client proxy, is available upon request. Please refer to your Investment Manager. Where any material conflict
is identified, the matter will be referred to the CCO for input on how best to proceed
Page 12
18.
Financial information
Evelyn Partners has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary
commitments to clients and has not been the subject of bankruptcy proceedings.
